Thank you for program support

On behalf of Jay School Corporation’s Reading is Fundamental program, I would like to take this time to thank all of the Jay County businesses, industries and not-for-profit organizations for their generous contribution to this wonderful reading program.

The Reading is Fundamental program, known as RIF, allows each student in grades kindergarten through sixth to receive a free book of their choice. It is usually distributed with a theme for what is going on in the individual school or some kind of national event encouraging how important reading is in the learning process.

Our local distribution reaches over 1,600 students in all five of our county elementary schools. For some of the students, it might be their only book they will ever have in their home.

This program has been made possible by the following contributors: Bixler Insurance/Delta Theta Tau Xi Chapter, First Bank Of Berne, Portland Rotary Foundation, Tri-Kappa-Beta, CrossRoads Financial, Delta Theta Tau of Dunkirk, FCC (Indiana), Gamma Alpha Psi Iota Xi of Portland, Gamma Nu Sorority, Portland Evening Optimist, Portland Lions Club, Tri-Kappa-Alpha, American Legion Post #211, American Legion Post #227, Ardagh Glass, Bollenbacher & Associates, Fullenkamp Machine, Kiwanis of Portland, M.J.S. Mortuaries, P.O.E.T. Biorefining, Portland, Eagles #928, Portland Veterinary Clinic, Sonoco, Tyson Foods and the Dunkirk Lions Club.

Again, thank you for investing in our biggest asset in Jay County — our children.

Sincerely,

Trent Paxson
